Curtis a copy of bis letter of accept ance of the republican, nomination for attorney of Wahkiakum county, Wash. The letter Is written In Hebrew and sets forth at considerable length just what Mr. Polworth Intends doing when he Is elected to the office. Mr. Curtis read the letter to a number of frlenda yesterday, and says that if he receives assurance that Mr. Polworth will carry out his good Intentions, he (Curtis) will stump the county for him. The letter is entitled; "It Is no dis grace to run for office when you have aspirations In that direction," and is an Interesting summary of the democratic Issues.

HEILBORN SON : A prominent member of the social ist party said yesterday that the social ists had not yet met to consider the question of placing candidates in the field at the forthcoming municipal elec tion, and he expressed the belief that hla party would not nominate. There are only two councllmen and a city at torney to be chosen, and the socialists are reported to be of the opinion that the Interesta of their party would not be furthered by making; nominations. The retiring councllmen are George W. Morton, In the Second ward, and John Nordstrom, in the Third. Both gentle men will be renominated If . they are anxious to again hold office. Whether or not the democrats will renominate City Attorney Smith has not yet devel oped, as the political situation has not been canvassed. No names have yet been mentioned in connection with the republican nomination. .Councilman Hansen took occasion! at Monday night's meeting of ths council to express his opinion of con tractors who shirk their work. He called attention to the Ninth street Improvement, saying he had made personal examination of the box drain being Installed there,' and that the drain was Improperly' put1 together and generally deficient "If we have to deal with contractors who must be watched, the . sooner we get . rid of them the better," said the councilman. Street Superintendent Kearney said Mr. Hansen had called his attention to the matter and that he had spoken to the man In charge of the work. The foreman said he had been in the habit of constructing drain boxes In the faulty manner, but that hereafter he would be careful to build them properly. There have been few street Improvements of late which have been made satisfactorily and the street committee has been In con stant trouble. Some of the more pro gressive property owners have formed committees, which personally Inspect the work. If It Is found defective In any way they notify the council, and If the defects are not righted the as sessments are not paid. Those who attend council meetings unconsciously gather the Impression that contractors are anxious to become wealthy at a very rapid gait. "It has been my privilege in past years to hear many noted lecturers, but never have I heard an address that more fully snd beautifully portrayed the splendor and the pain, the poetry and the passion of the glorious people thut divine guidance led forth from slavery into light." These are the words of Benjamin I. Cohen In the Oregonlan, and he was speaking of the noted lecturer, Mrs. B. Altman, whose lecture on "Judith" at the Congrega tional church on Friday evening should be heard by everybody. Admis sion only 25 cents. Auspices of the Woman's Club. As exemplifying the general dispo sition on the part of boys to take a hance, the marble-playing device In vented by a local lad Is Interesting. The boy located himself at the corner pf Fourteenth and Commercial streets a, few 'nights ago, and, although bis device was about as near a sure thing as it could well have been, he was kept busy attending to the wants of other boys anxious to play, The device Is of the "pocket" order. In a board the ad had driven nails, and the marble Is dropped In at a slot above. If It should And its way Into a pocket label ed "two," he receives two for one. It was stated by a gentleman whe stopped to watch the performance that there was mighty little chance for a marble to find on of the pockets, and that the player had about aa much chance aa the man who bucks a gen uine slot machine. However, the boys' seemed anxious to play the game, and theWentor la said to be accumulating a large stock of marbles. Ever since the Portland authorities closed slot machines there has been much discussion locally of the propo sition and it is reported that con certed action looking to abolition of the money-paying devices Is contem plated. The people opposed to the operation of slot machines aver the example set by the Portland officials affords reason for the belief that senti ment here can be aroused and the ma chines driven out It Is also stated that at least one member of the police commission has declared himself fav orable ' to the . movement There seems to be little objection to the op eration of cigar machines, but the sentiment against money-paying de vices Is pronounced. The reformers declare that with one member of the police board on their side, tt would be comparatively simple to put the machine men out of business. , They further aver that . the machines In operation in Astoria, some 75 or 80 In number, net a profit of from $3000 to $4000 monthly. At the present time there Is but one machine operator In Astoria, excepting two or three ma chines owned by another operator and a few machines owned by saloon- men. The police commission haa the power, to close slot machines. Notioe to Voters.
